. >> kelly: based on that, my next guest says she welcomes a debate on education but says governor romney needs to go beyond the same old campaign pitches and work towards real solutions. susan esteridge is a professor of law and political science at u.s.c. and a fox news contributor. susan, i haven't seen you in a while but you always bring good news to the table, especially i appreciate your perspective on a lot of issues. what about this issue with governor romney and his stance that education is a third world education in america and has become the most pressing civil rights issue? >> well, first, kelly, great to see you and actually, i completely agree with governor romney. we haven't heard too much about education so far. the focus, obviously, has been on the economy but, you know, if you think about it in the long term, nothing is more important to our economy, to national security, to the health of our democracy than having an educated population and i think kids of color and poor kids and frankly lots of middle-class kids are suffering in second class schools. the hard question i

>> governor romney had a great two debates this week. you saw he was explaining what it is he would do to fix the economy to turn things around. he wasn't going to take speaker gingrich's negative and false attacks lying down. speaker gingrich didn't have the facts on his side. that's why he saw he couldn't back up what he was saying. governor romney was able to articulate his plans for the nation his plans to get the economy back on track. he would get floridians help them get back in their homes and all of the things that the american people are looking for right now in a president. >> the gingrich campaign as you would image says it's your campaign that is running false ads. they point to issues about ethics violations saying the speaker was ultimately cleared it was a single account that had to dole with incorrect documents filed his attorney. how do you respond to the charges that casting him in a light where he was forced out because of ethics try layingses they say is not accurate? >> an independent fact check organization did an

this coming wednesday, mitt romney and president obama will be squaring off in their very first debate. no political handlers on the stage and no advisors, no 30 seconds commercials. two men going on one on one with the debate posing a crucial test for both candidates. how big are the stakes? joining us is erin mcpike national reporter. good to see you. as the challenger who is admittedly behind in the polls, governor romney is an underdog, does that give him an advantage and if he does well with let's say 50 million people watching, could it reversed direction of his campaign? >> it's very possible. romney campaign has said all along that the debates are going to be very important because it's a chance to see mitt romney square off with president obama and visions for the country. we are starting to see both campaigns to lower expectations for both candidates but this is last chance that romney have to voters take him seriously. >> gregg: i think the trick is for romney at least to come across as krebld and trust worthy and to have the better plan for the economy, that seems to be pre

romney had a lot of experience debating his republican colleagues in the primaries. is what is your take on that? >> couldn't agree more on the practice that mitt romney has had in the last year on debates. debates are a unique format. the romney campaign is putting a lot of stock in october 3 and spent a lot of the candidate's time on preparation. he did five mock debates in a 48 hour period. took the whole week of our convention and instead of talking directly to voters he hunkered down and did debate prep. he did 20 debates during the primaries and he himself has bragged that he won 16 of those. i think they see this as a big moment in the campaign and i think we will see a good discussion between the two candidates on issues that matter to the american people. >>> you have seen how the administration narrative on the attacks changed quite dramatically over the course of the last week. some have said this is many variations of the dog ate my homework. why should anybody have any credibility in what the administration says given its shifting narrative? >> i would d
